How Edi’s Approaches Work Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns that lead to anxiety, low mood, or problematic behavior. It uses practical exercises and skill practice that can be done between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve coping.Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to build a person’s own desire to change. It helps with addictions, smoking or vaping cessation, and other habits by exploring ambivalence and strengthening internal motivation to act.
Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, concrete steps and what is already working. It helps people move forward quickly by setting achievable goals and identifying practical strategies to reach them.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. That discussion guides a plan that can combine methods as needed.
Online formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video sessions let people work face-to-face without travel, phone calls can be a lower-bandwidth option, and chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing contact between appointments. These options increase flexibility for scheduling and for practicing skills in real-world moments.
